Abstract

A method and system for providing a configurable user-input device in the form of a keyboard input device. In one embodiment, a projection unit projects a dynamically configurable keyboard pattern onto a planar or non-planar surface. Interactions with that pattern are monitored by at least one motion sensor to identify how a user is using the pattern.
